So she’s bound by he laws of the sphinx even if she’d rather not be. But I imagine she can’t use the same riddle twice for the same person or that would be ‘cheating’ on her own part. As for her running out of riddles… the whole idea of the sphinx is that their reasoning centers are simply that much more advanced than a human’s, your average human could never hope to win in an argument of pure cold hard logic with one. They could convince you to give you the keys to your house if they wanted. Or that’s how the myth has evolved at least from what I’ve heard. So is she A sphinx, or is she now a reincarnation of THE sphinx? Then again, likely not since she didn’t commit suicide upon being bested by a human in a battle of wits.

I still wonder if it’s our centaur and her boyfriend, or our two favorite little girls. (Or it might be Aphrodite’s little brother, I mean Robyn.)

I think the wings would be better attached to the lower body of the sphinx than the upper, but this is magic and annoying physics be dam*/#. Still, I will say she looks nice and if this is the shop owner I think it is then she might enjoy the change as she diet may include meat now. Or, maybe it did before when she was a centaur as it is hard to get enough food to support a body that size through grain alone.

The reason the wings attach where they do is that’s where I’ve always drawn Grace Harmoney’s wings attaching at that point for aesthetic reasons of making her look more angelic. (she’s from the other comic I draw)http://boequestria.co.uk/comic/book-6-01/
and as such I defaulted to doing them the same way. It made much more sense to me than doing it accurate to the mythical depiction where they emerge from the same socket as the front paws.

And also, when we were researching some source images for the sphinx, we saw a few different designs. Some without a human torso, some with. I preferred the human torso and wings on that human back. The design you see in this comic was the one we both liked the best.
